We have a doctor who writes all his orders STAT, thinking that the nurses will respond quicker. His order today - Dulcolax 2 tabs PO STAT!

We had a physician write an order on a patient who was in for an extended period of time, longer than origianlly planned, and who was becoming depressed with her progress. This physician wrote "patient must view comedy tape for 1 hour three times a day to help her laugh."
